CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS UNDER 35 U.S.C. § 119

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/672,871, filed on May 17, 2018, entitled “TECHNIQUES AND APPARATUSES FOR TRANSMISSION POWER CONFIGURATION,” which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication, and more particularly to techniques and apparatuses for transmission power configuration.

BACKGROUND

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, and/or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

A wireless communication network may include a number of base stations (BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment (UEs). A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station (BS) via the downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, a gNB, an access point (AP), a radio head, a transmit receive point (TRP), a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5G Node B, and/or the like.

The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. New Radio (NR), which may also be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and/or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, there exists a need for further improvements in LTE and NR technologies. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multiple access technologies and the telecommunication standards that employ these technologies.

SUMMARY

In some aspects, a method of wireless communication, performed by a user equipment (UE), may include determining a transmission power for an uplink shared channel communication based at least in part on at least one of a code rate parameter, a block length parameter, or a target block error rate parameter associated with the uplink shared channel communication. The method may include transmitting the uplink shared channel communication using the transmission power based at least in part on determining the transmission power.

In some aspects, a user equipment for wireless communication may include memory and one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory. The memory and the one or more processors may be configured to determine a transmission power for an uplink shared channel communication based at least in part on at least one of a code rate parameter, a block length parameter, or a target block error rate parameter associated with the uplink shared channel communication. The memory and the one or more processors may be configured to transmit the uplink shared channel communication using the transmission power based at least in part on determining the transmission power.

In some aspects, a non-transitory computer-readable medium may store one or more instructions for wireless communication. The one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment, may cause the one or more processors to determine a transmission power for an uplink shared channel communication based at least in part on at least one of a code rate parameter, a block length parameter, or a target block error rate parameter associated with the uplink shared channel communication. The one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors of the user equipment, may cause the one or more processors to transmit the uplink shared channel communication using the transmission power based at least in part on determining the transmission power.

In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication may include means for determining a transmission power for an uplink shared channel communication based at least in part on at least one of a code rate parameter, a block length parameter, or a target block error rate parameter associated with the uplink shared channel communication. The apparatus may include means for transmitting the uplink shared channel communication using the transmission power based at least in part on determining the transmission power.

Aspects generally include a method, apparatus, system, computer program product, non-transitory computer-readable medium, user equipment, base station, wireless communication device, and processing system as substantially described herein with reference to and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings and specification.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based at least in part on the teachings herein one skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim.

Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, and/or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with 3G and/or 4G wireless technologies, aspects of the present disclosure can be applied in other generation-based communication systems, such as 5G and later, including NR technologies.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a network 100 in which aspects of the present disclosure may be practiced. The network 100 may be an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G or NR network. Wireless network 100 may include a number of BSs 110 (shown as BS 110 a, BS 110 b, BS 110 c, and BS 110 d) and other network entities. A BS is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UEs) and may also be referred to as a base station, a NR BS, a Node B, a gNB, a 5G node B (NB), an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP), and/or the like. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a BS and/or a BS subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). ABS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. ABS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a BS 110 a may be a macro BS for a macro cell 102 a, a BS 110 b may be a pico BS for a pico cell 102 b, and a BS 110 c may be a femto BS for a femto cell 102 c. A BS may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “base station”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “node B”, “5G NB”, and “cell” may be used interchangeably herein.

In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the access network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces such as a direct physical connection, a virtual network, and/or the like using any suitable transport network.

Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a relay station 110 d may communicate with macro BS 110 a and a UE 120 d in order to facilitate communication between BS 110 a and UE 120 d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, a relay base station, a relay, and/or the like.

Wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs of different types, e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, and/or the like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 Watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 Watts).

A network controller 130 may couple to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with one another, e.g., directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul.

UEs 120 (e.g., 120 a, 120 b, 120 c) may be dispersed throughout wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, and/or the like. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, and/or the like, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processor components, memory components, and/or the like.

In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, and/or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, and/or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120 a and UE 120 e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, and/or the like), a mesh network, and/or the like. In this case, the UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.

As indicated above, FIG. 1 is provided merely as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 1.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a design 200 of base station 110 and UE 120, which may be one of the base stations and one of the UEs in FIG. 1. Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234 a through 234 t, and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252 a through 252 r, where in general T≥1 and R≥1. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing.

At base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data from a data source 212 for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI) and/or the like) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, and/or the like) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., the cell-specific reference signal (CRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232 a through 232 t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM and/or the like) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators 232 a through 232 t may be transmitted via T antennas 234 a through 234 t, respectively. According to various aspects described in more detail below, the synchronization signals can be generated with location encoding to convey additional information.

At UE 120, antennas 252 a through 252 r may receive the downlink signals from base station 110 and/or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254 a through 254 r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM and/or the like) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254 a through 254 r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. A channel processor may determine reference signal received power (RSRP), received signal strength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), channel quality indicator (CQI), and/or the like.

On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports comprising RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, and/or the like) from controller/processor 280. Transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by modulators 254 a through 254 r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, and/or the like), and transmitted to base station 110. At base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs may be received by antennas 234, processed by demodulators 232, detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by UE 120. Receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller/processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate to network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller/processor 290, and memory 292.

Controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280 of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform one or more techniques associated with transmission power configuration, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280 of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 800 of FIG. 8 and/or other processes as described herein. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. A scheduler 246 may schedule UEs for data transmission on the downlink and/or uplink.

In some aspects, UE 120 may include means for determining a transmission power for an uplink shared channel communication based at least in part on at least one of a code rate parameter, a block length parameter, or a target block error rate parameter associated with the uplink shared channel communication, means for transmitting the uplink shared channel communication using the transmission power based at least in part on determining the transmission power, and/or the like. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of UE 120 described in connection with FIG. 2.

As indicated above, FIG. 2 is provided merely as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 2.

FIG. 3A shows an example frame structure 300 for FDD in a telecommunications system (e.g., NR). The transmission timeline for each of the downlink and uplink may be partitioned into units of radio frames (sometimes referred to as frames). Each radio frame may have a predetermined duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)) and may be partitioned into a set of Z (Z≥1) subframes (e.g., with indices of 0 through Z−1). Each subframe may have a predetermined duration (e.g., 1 ms) and may include a set of slots (e.g., 2^(m) slots per subframe are shown in FIG. 3A, where m is a numerology used for a transmission, such as 0, 1,2, 3, 4, and/or the like). Each slot may include a set of L symbol periods. For example, each slot may include fourteen symbol periods (e.g., as shown in FIG. 3A), seven symbol periods, or another number of symbol periods. In a case where the subframe includes two slots (e.g., when m=1), the subframe may include 2L symbol periods, where the 2L symbol periods in each subframe may be assigned indices of 0 through 2L−1. In some aspects, a scheduling unit for the FDD may frame-based, subframe-based, slot-based, symbol-based, and/or the like.

While some techniques are described herein in connection with frames, subframes, slots, and/or the like, these techniques may equally apply to other types of wireless communication structures, which may be referred to using terms other than “frame,” “subframe,” “slot,” and/or the like in 5G NR. In some aspects, a wireless communication structure may refer to a periodic time-bounded communication unit defined by a wireless communication standard and/or protocol. Additionally, or alternatively, different configurations of wireless communication structures than those shown in FIG. 3A may be used.

In certain telecommunications (e.g., NR), a base station may transmit synchronization signals. For example, a base station may transmit a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and/or the like, on the downlink for each cell supported by the base station. The PSS and SSS may be used by UEs for cell search and acquisition. For example, the PSS may be used by UEs to determine symbol timing, and the SSS may be used by UEs to determine a physical cell identifier, associated with the base station, and frame timing. The base station may also transmit a physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The PBCH may carry some system information, such as system information that supports initial access by UEs.

In some aspects, the base station may transmit the PSS, the SSS, and/or the PBCH in accordance with a synchronization communication hierarchy (e.g., a synchronization signal (SS) hierarchy) including multiple synchronization communications (e.g., SS blocks), as described below in connection with FIG. 3B.

FIG. 3B is a block diagram conceptually illustrating an example SS hierarchy, which is an example of a synchronization communication hierarchy. As shown in FIG. 3B, the SS hierarchy may include an SS burst set, which may include a plurality of SS bursts (identified as SS burst 0 through SS burst B−1, where B is a maximum number of repetitions of the SS burst that may be transmitted by the base station). As further shown, each SS burst may include one or more SS blocks (identified as SS block 0 through SS block (b_(max_SS-1)), where b_(max_SS-1) is a maximum number of SS blocks that can be carried by an SS burst). In some aspects, different SS blocks may be beam-formed differently. An SS burst set may be periodically transmitted by a wireless node, such as every X milliseconds, as shown in FIG. 3B. In some aspects, an SS burst set may have a fixed or dynamic length, shown as Y milliseconds in FIG. 3B.

The SS burst set shown in FIG. 3B is an example of a synchronization communication set, and other synchronization communication sets may be used in connection with the techniques described herein. Furthermore, the SS block shown in FIG. 3B is an example of a synchronization communication, and other synchronization communications may be used in connection with the techniques described herein.

In some aspects, an SS block includes resources that carry the PSS, the SSS, the PBCH, and/or other synchronization signals (e.g., a tertiary synchronization signal (TSS)) and/or synchronization channels. In some aspects, multiple SS blocks are included in an SS burst, and the PSS, the SSS, and/or the PBCH may be the same across each SS block of the SS burst. In some aspects, a single SS block may be included in an SS burst. In some aspects, the SS block may be at least four symbol periods in length, where each symbol carries one or more of the PSS (e.g., occupying one symbol), the SSS (e.g., occupying one symbol), and/or the PBCH (e.g., occupying two symbols).

In some aspects, the symbols of an SS block are consecutive, as shown in FIG. 3B. In some aspects, the symbols of an SS block are non-consecutive. Similarly, in some aspects, one or more SS blocks of the SS burst may be transmitted in consecutive radio resources (e.g., consecutive symbol periods) during one or more slots. Additionally, or alternatively, one or more SS blocks of the SS burst may be transmitted in non-consecutive radio resources.

In some aspects, the SS bursts may have a burst period, whereby the SS blocks of the SS burst are transmitted by the base station according to the burst period. In other words, the SS blocks may be repeated during each SS burst. In some aspects, the SS burst set may have a burst set periodicity, whereby the SS bursts of the SS burst set are transmitted by the base station according to the fixed burst set periodicity. In other words, the SS bursts may be repeated during each SS burst set.

The base station may transmit system information, such as system information blocks (SIBs) on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in certain slots. The base station may transmit control information/data on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in C symbol periods of a slot, where B may be configurable for each slot. The base station may transmit traffic data and/or other data on the PDSCH in the remaining symbol periods of each slot.

As indicated above, FIGS. 3A and 3B are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

FIG. 4 shows an example slot format 410 with a normal cyclic prefix. The available time frequency resources may be partitioned into resource blocks. Each resource block may cover a set of subcarriers (e.g., 12 subcarriers) in one slot and may include a number of resource elements. Each resource element may cover one subcarrier in one symbol period (e.g., in time) and may be used to send one modulation symbol, which may be a real or complex value.

An interlace structure may be used for each of the downlink and uplink for FDD in certain telecommunications systems (e.g., NR). For example, Q interlaces with indices of 0 through Q−1 may be defined, where Q may be equal to 4, 6, 8, 10, or some other value. Each interlace may include slots that are spaced apart by Q frames. In particular, interlace q may include slots q, q+Q, q+2Q, etc., where q∈{0, . . . , Q−1}.

A UE may be located within the coverage of multiple BSs. One of these BSs may be selected to serve the UE. The serving BS may be selected based at least in part on various criteria such as received signal strength, received signal quality, path loss, and/or the like. Received signal quality may be quantified by a signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio (SNIR), or a reference signal received quality (RSRQ), or some other metric. The UE may operate in a dominant interference scenario in which the UE may observe high interference from one or more interfering BSs.

While aspects of the examples described herein may be associated with NR or 5G technologies, aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable with other wireless communication systems. New Radio (NR) may refer to radios configured to operate according to a new air interface (e.g., other than Orthogonal Frequency Divisional Multiple Access (OFDMA)-based air interfaces) or fixed transport layer (e.g., other than Internet Protocol (IP)). In aspects, NR may utilize OFDM with a CP (herein referred to as cyclic prefix OFDM or CP-OFDM) and/or SC-FDM on the uplink, may utilize CP-OFDM on the downlink and include support for half-duplex operation using TDD. In aspects, NR may, for example, utilize OFDM with a CP (herein referred to as CP-OFDM) and/or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) on the uplink, may utilize CP-OFDM on the downlink and include support for half-duplex operation using TDD. NR may include Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) service targeting wide bandwidth (e.g., 80 megahertz (MHz) and beyond), millimeter wave (mmW) targeting high carrier frequency (e.g., 60 gigahertz (GHz)), massive MTC (mMTC) targeting non-backward compatible MTC techniques, and/or mission critical targeting ultra reliable low latency communications (URLLC) service.

In some aspects, a single component carrier bandwidth of 100 MHz may be supported. NR resource blocks may span 12 sub-carriers with a sub-carrier bandwidth of 60 or 120 kilohertz (kHz) over a 0.1 millisecond (ms) duration. Each radio frame may include 40 slots and may have a length of 10 ms. Consequently, each slot may have a length of 0.25 ms. Each slot may indicate a link direction (e.g., DL or UL) for data transmission and the link direction for each slot may be dynamically switched. Each slot may include DL/UL data as well as DL/UL control data.

Beamforming may be supported and beam direction may be dynamically configured. MIMO transmissions with precoding may also be supported. MIMO configurations in the DL may support up to 8 transmit antennas with multi-layer DL transmissions up to 8 streams and up to 2 streams per UE. Multi-layer transmissions with up to 2 streams per UE may be supported. Aggregation of multiple cells may be supported with up to 8 serving cells. Alternatively, NR may support a different air interface, other than an OFDM-based interface. NR networks may include entities such central units or distributed units.

As indicated above, FIG. 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 4.

FIG. 5 illustrates an example logical architecture of a distributed RAN 500, according to aspects of the present disclosure. A 5G access node 506 may include an access node controller (ANC) 502. The ANC may be a central unit (CU) of the distributed RAN 500. The backhaul interface to the next generation core network (NG-CN) 504 may terminate at the ANC. The backhaul interface to neighboring next generation access nodes (NG-ANs) may terminate at the ANC. The ANC may include one or more TRPs 508 (which may also be referred to as BSs, NR BSs, Node Bs, 5G NBs, APs, gNB, or some other term). As described above, a TRP may be used interchangeably with “cell.”

The TRPs 508 may be a distributed unit (DU). The TRPs may be connected to one ANC (ANC 502) or more than one ANC (not illustrated). For example, for RAN sharing, radio as a service (RaaS), and service specific AND deployments, the TRP may be connected to more than one ANC. A TRP may include one or more antenna ports. The TRPs may be configured to individually (e.g., dynamic selection) or jointly (e.g., joint transmission) serve traffic to a UE.

The local architecture of RAN 500 may be used to illustrate fronthaul definition. The architecture may be defined that support fronthauling solutions across different deployment types. For example, the architecture may be based at least in part on transmit network capabilities (e.g., bandwidth, latency, and/or jitter).

The architecture may share features and/or components with LTE. According to aspects, the next generation AN (NG-AN) 510 may support dual connectivity with NR. The NG-AN may share a common fronthaul for LTE and NR.

The architecture may enable cooperation between and among TRPs 508. For example, cooperation may be preset within a TRP and/or across TRPs via the ANC 502. According to aspects, no inter-TRP interface may be needed/present.

According to aspects, a dynamic configuration of split logical functions may be present within the architecture of RAN 500. The packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), radio link control (RLC), media access control (MAC) protocol may be adaptably placed at the ANC or TRP.

According to various aspects, a BS may include a central unit (CU) (e.g., ANC 502) and/or one or more distributed units (e.g., one or more TRPs 508).

As indicated above, FIG. 5 is provided merely as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 5.

FIG. 6 illustrates an example physical architecture of a distributed RAN 600, according to aspects of the present disclosure. A centralized core network unit (C-CU) 602 may host core network functions. The C-CU may be centrally deployed. C-CU functionality may be offloaded (e.g., to advanced wireless services (AWS)), in an effort to handle peak capacity.

A centralized RAN unit (C-RU) 604 may host one or more ANC functions. Optionally, the C-RU may host core network functions locally. The C-RU may have distributed deployment. The C-RU may be closer to the network edge.

A distributed unit (DU) 606 may host one or more TRPs. The DU may be located at edges of the network with radio frequency (RF) functionality.

As indicated above, FIG. 6 is provided merely as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to FIG. 6.

In some communications systems, a UE may configure a transmit power to less than a maximum available transmit power to reduce intra-cell interference, to reduce inter-cell interference, to improve power efficiency, and/or the like. For example, the UE may configure the transmit power based at least in part on a maximum transmit power, a pathloss determination, a PUSCH bandwidth, a PUSCH power offset, a PUSCH power control adjustment parameter, a power adjustment parameter, and/or the like. The power adjustment parameter may be selected based at least in part on a code rate used by the UE, and may be related to a signal to noise ratio (SNR) determination for the UE on a channel.

However, selecting the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on a code rate may result in an inefficient power allocation as a result of the signal to noise ratio being affected by other factors in transmission. Moreover, when the UE provides one or more services types associated with less than a threshold block error rate, less than a threshold block length, and/or the like, selecting the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on a code rate may result in an inefficient power allocation. In this case, the UE may determine a transmit power that results in excessive intra-cell interference, excessive inter-cell interference, excessive utilization of power resources, and/or the like.

Some aspects described herein may enable transmit power configuration. For example, a UE may determine the transmit power based at least in part on a code rate parameter, a block length parameter, a block error rate parameter, and/or the like. In this way, the UE may reduce intra-cell interference, inter-cell interference, utilization of power resources, and/or the like relative to other techniques for determining a transmission power.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example 700 of transmission power configuration, in accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, example 700 includes a BS 110 in communication with a UE 120.

As further shown in FIG. 7, and by reference number 710, UE 120 may determine a transmission power for a PUSCH based at least in part on a code rate, a block length, and a target block error rate (BLER). For example, UE 120 may determine the transmission power to account for a coding gain, which may relate to a block length and a code rate for the PUSCH. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the transmission power based at least in part on at least one of a code rate, a block length, a target BLER, and/or the like. In this way, UE 120 improves accuracy of a transmission power determination, thereby reducing an inefficiency relating to the transmission power determination (e.g., reducing, relative to another technique for determining a transmission power, a likelihood of determining an excessive transmission power that causes interference and excessively utilizes power resources).

In some aspects, UE 120 may determine a parameter based at least in part on received signaling. For example, UE 120 may receive, from BS 110, radio resource control signaling and/or the like identifying the code rate, the block length, the target block error rate, and/or the like. Additionally, or alternatively, UE 120 may determine a parameter based at least in part on a type of deployment (e.g., an ultra-reliable low latency (URLLC) deployment may be associated with a particular target block error rate).

In some aspects, UE 120 may determine a power adjustment parameter to determine the transmission power. For example, UE 120 may determine a transmission power based at least in part on an equation, such as:

${P_{{PUSCH},f,c}\left( {i,j,q_{d},l} \right)} = {\min \left\{ \begin{matrix} {{P_{{CMAX},f,c}(i)},} \\ \begin{matrix} {{P_{{O\; \_ \; {PUSCH}},f,c}(j)} + {10\mspace{11mu} {\log_{10}\left( {2^{\mu} \cdot {M_{{RB},f,c}^{PUSCH}(i)}} \right)}} +} \\ {{{\alpha_{f,c}(j)} \cdot {{PL}_{f,c}\left( q_{d} \right)}} + {\Delta_{{TF},f,c}(i)} + {f_{f,c}\left( {i,l} \right)}} \end{matrix} \end{matrix} \right.}$

where P_(PUSCH) represents a transmission power, P_(CMAX) represents a maximum transmit power, PL represents a pathloss value determined based at least in part on a reference signal, q_(d), M_(PUSCH) represents a PUSCH bandwidth, P_(o_PUSCH) represents a power offset for a PUSCH transmission, f represents a PUSCH power control adjustment parameter, and Δ_(TF) represents a power adjustment parameter. In this case, UE 120 may determine the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on an equation, such as:

Δ_(TF,f,c)(i)=10log₁₀(h(R, n, BLER)·β_(offset) ^(PUSCH))

where R represents a code rate, n represents a block length, BLER represents a target block error rate, and β represents an offset value for a PUSCH transmission. In this case, UE 120 may determine the function h(R, n, BLER) based at least in part on an equation, such as:

${BLER} = {Q\left( {\sqrt{\frac{n}{V\left( {S\; N\; R} \right)}}\left( {{C\left( {S\; N\; R} \right)} - R} \right)} \right)}$

where C(SNR) is a channel capacity at a particular signal to noise ratio (SNR) for an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel mode, C(SNR)=log₂(1+SNR), V(SNR) is a dispersion value for the AWGN channel mode, V(SNR)=1−(1/(1+SNR)²), and Q(x) is a tail distribution function. In this case, the above equation may be a finite block length bound for a BLER value based at least in part on code rate R, block length n, and SNR. Based at least in part on deriving from the finite length bound, the SNR may be determined based at least in part on an equation, such as:

SNR=g(R, n, BLER).

where g represents a function derived from the finite bound length.

In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on a stored value. For example, UE 120 may receive configuration information identifying the power adjustment parameter and may determine the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on the stored configuration information. In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on a type of service. For example, one or more types of services (e.g., an ultra-reliable low latency (URLLC) service) may be associated with a particular power adjustment parameter, such as a relatively low target BLER. Similarly, the UE may determine the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on a target BLER. In some aspects, UE 120 may adjust the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on an experimentally determined adjustment value, δ. For example, UE 120 may determine h(R, n, BLER) based at least in part on another equation, such as:

h(R, n, BLER)=SNR*=g(R, n, BLER)+δ(R, n, BLER)

where SNR* represents an adjusted SNR value, g represents an SNR determined based at least in part on a finite block length (FBL) bound, and δ represents an offset from the finite block length (FBL) bound. In this case, UE 120 may receive configuration information identifying δ, and may store the configuration information for adjusting the power adjustment parameter. In some aspects, δ may be determined with a coarse granularity based at least in part on a rate and a code length.

In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on a piecewise linear function (e.g., without using g and δ). For example, Δ_(TF)may be approximated based at least in part on an equation, such as:

Δ_(TF,f,c)(i)=10log₁₀((2^(R)−1)·β_(offset) ^(PUSCH))+d(n, R, BLER)

where d represents the piecewise linear function. In this case, UE 120 may determine d based at least in part on a first equation, for a target BLER≈10⁻², such as:

${d\left( {n,R,{BLER}} \right)} = \left\{ \begin{matrix} {3,{{{if}\mspace{14mu} {nR}} < 50}} \\ {{{{- \frac{1}{200}}\left( {{nR} - 50} \right)} + 3},{{{if}\mspace{14mu} 50} \leq {nR} < 250}} \\ {{{{- \frac{1}{1000}}\left( {{nR} - 250} \right)} + 2},{{{if}\mspace{14mu} 250} \leq {nR} < 750}} \\ {{{{- \frac{1}{2500}}\left( {{nR} - 750} \right)} + 1.5},{{{if}\mspace{14mu} 750} \leq {nR} < 2000}} \\ {1,{otherwise}} \end{matrix} \right.$

and a second equation, for a target BLER≈10⁻⁵, such as:

${d\left( {n,R,{BLER}} \right)} = \left\{ \begin{matrix} {5,{{{if}\mspace{14mu} {nR}} < 50}} \\ {{{{- \frac{3}{400}}\left( {{nR} - 50} \right)} + 5},{{{if}\mspace{14mu} 50} \leq {nR} < 250}} \\ {{{{- \frac{1}{500}}\left( {{nR} - 250} \right)} + 3.5},{{{if}\mspace{14mu} 250} \leq {nR} < 750}} \\ {{{{- \frac{1}{1250}}\left( {{nR} - 750} \right)} + 2.5},{{{if}\mspace{14mu} 750} \leq {nR} < 2000}} \\ {1.5,{otherwise}} \end{matrix} \right.$

In this case, based at least in part on using the piecewise linear function for d, UE 120 may reduce a utilization of processing resources relative to determining the power adjustment parameter offset.

In some aspects, UE 120 may determine the power adjustment parameter based at least in part on a stepwise function. For example, UE 120 may adjust power based on a set of thresholds rather than a continuous adjustment to power. In this way, UE 120 may enable power adjustment when continuous adjustment is not possible for UE 120. In some aspects, rather than adjusting the transmission power based at least in part on Δ_(TF), UE 120 may adjust a nominal power offset (in decibel-milliwatts (dBm)) for a PUSCH transmission (P_(O_PUSCH)). For example, the UE 120 may adjust the P-_(O_PUSCH) parameter based at least in part on a target BLER to adjust a transmit power for transmitting a PUSCH.

As further shown in FIG. 7, and by reference number 720, UE 120 may transmit a PUSCH using the determined transmit power, which was determined based at least in part on the code rate, the block length, and the target block error rate. For example, based at least in part on determining the power adjustment parameter, and determining the transmit power based at least in part on the power adjustment parameter, UE 120 may transmit information to BS 110. In this way, UE 120 communicated with BS 110 with reduced intra-cell interference or inter-cell interference, reduced utilization of power resources of UE 120, and/or the like, thereby improving performance of UE 120 and a wireless network that UE 120 and BS 110 used to communicate.

As indicated above, FIG. 7 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to FIG. 7.

For example, the UE (e.g., using controller/processor 280 and/or the like) may determine the transmission power for the PUSCH communication based at least in part on at least one of a code rate parameter, a block length parameter, or a target block error rate parameter associated with the uplink shared channel communication, as described above.

In a fourth aspect, alone or in combination with any one or more of the first through third aspects, the transmission power is determined based at least in part on a service type for which the UE is configured. In a fifth aspect, alone or in combination with any one or more of the first through fourth aspects, the service type is at least one of an ultra-reliable low latency communications service type, an enhanced Mobile Broadband service type, or a massive machine service type.

In a sixth aspect, alone or in combination with any one or more of the first through fifth aspects, the transmission power is determined based at least in part on a power adjustment offset value. In a seventh aspect, alone or in combination with any one or more of the first through sixth aspects, the transmission power is determined based at least in part on a continuous power function, a piecewise linear power function, or a stepwise function.

In an eighth aspect, alone or in combination with any one or more of the first through seventh aspects, the transmission power is determined based at least in part on a signal to noise ratio parameter. In a ninth aspect, alone or in combination with any one or more of the first through eighth aspects, the transmission power is determined based at least in part on an adjustment to a nominal power offset for the uplink shared channel communication corresponding to the target block error rate parameter.

Although FIG. 8 shows example blocks of process 800, in some aspects, process 800 may include additional blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or differently arranged blocks than those depicted in FIG. 8. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of process 800 may be performed in parallel.
